My 4 year old just put my 2 year old down for a nap AMA

[divices]

2 year old requested that her older sister put her down. We obliged just to see.

She got her in a diaper and pajamas. Read books. Sang her songs. Covered her with a blanket. Turned the lights off and shut the door.

I don’t know what I’ll do with all this extra time gained.

@divices Start a baby napping business - babies putting babies to sleep. Profit.

@eliz Hey, this kid-napping thing has a good ring to it. Maybe we should copyright it.

@milz777 I hear there's lots of money to be made in kid-napping services.

Edit: I think I have a new client, right after I posted that a couple of guys in suits are sitting out front of my house in a black van.

 

[chantellel]

@peachpits I have them too! They were asking who at my house goes by the name LittleKidLover online…

 

[kencram1]

@chantellel That way they know you love kids!

 

[matt25]

@peachpits I ran-som business like this before. You have to call the parents and let them know how much and then they'll pay you whatever you ask for.

 

[gash]

@matt25 Make sure you know to ask for payment upfront for all future kid-napping services. Some parents don't want to pay you for each time.

@milz777 Can confirm this is a subreddit of dads.

 

[indianhippygirl]

@milz777 Won’t get much money from me, sadly.

 

[hannahhansen]

@milz777 too late, I think kidnapping rings are big business already

 

[chadchad]

@eliz Right? And this is the only context in which ‘kid napping’ is okay.

@eliz Make sure you don’t get sued by the adult daycare franchise “seniors helping seniors”

@divices Meanwhile my 4 year old and 2 year old are ambushing each other with the wooden block hammers. We are essentially a conch away from lord of flies here. Please send help.

@joegoldbergswifey When I read the title, I could have sworn blunt objects would be involved.

 

[derekh]

@joegoldbergswifey Also a 4 year old and a (near) 2 year old household. I had to intervene this afternoon in what might have been a fight to the death over whether a toy was called an "excavator" or a "digger".

 

[nonkazimulo]

@joegoldbergswifey My kids are right along there with yours lol

 

[fibble]

@joegoldbergswifey Dang. I thought my 4 year old was going to start putting down our almost 2 year old for a minute. But after reading this comment I know what's actually coming.

@divices My 4.5 year old tries to put the 2 year old in the sleeper hold frequently. Not sure if that counts but she’s also interested in putting him down
